If You Want to Write

Short Guides on Writing and the Business of Publishing

Vanishing World Creative Studio and Vanishing World Books is proud to present If You Want to Write, a series offering writers of all abilities and ambitions short, engaging, and practical guides on craft and various aspects of the business of books.

Written by former editors, agents, and working authors, these titles provide authors the kind of information that has typically been in the hands of gatekeepers, including the logistics of querying agents, the construction of book proposals, the dynamic landscape of the modern publishing industry, and the art of writing books, ranging from narrative nonfiction to climate fiction.
